Yeah. Showing concrete harm from e.g. collection of location data for marketing purposes is a huge challenge. Show even one instance of someone being harmed by specifically what Verizon did (it doesn't exist). We have all sorts of ad tech collecting huge profiles and yet where is the demonstrated harm?

This is coming from someone with a great interest in privacy, enough to know that advocates purposefully conflate privacy in the sense of limiting government overreach and privacy in the sense of limiting the spread of embarrassing information. I want the former and the latter, but neither really interacts with advertising, in an intellectual honest way. If only data were as valuable as people thought it was.

This is a really unpopular opinion and I'm sure it will be downvoted so, you know, there's that. You've "won." If someone could figure out the harm maybe there would be a regulation. It's been a long time and there still isn't, so you can't just wave your hands around and say, corruption, because there are actually a huge number of laws, simply colossal, and I cannot believe that the position you believe in is so true but so corrupt as to have exactly zero consequences for substantive torts.
